Sun Ce's words gave an opening for Huan Jie and Han Dang to compromise with Sun Jian's decision, so they reluctantly agreed with his decision. A few days passed by, and Sun Jian and Sun Ce alongside Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu boarded the ship that had been prepared to sail toward Guangling.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce board the ship together, they are waiting for all of the soldiers who came to guard them when suddenly they see a group of the Sun Clan Guards approaching the ship.
Sun Jian was confused as to why the Sun Clan guards were there, as he had instructed them to stay at his residence and guard his family, since if his leaving was known to his enemies his family could be in danger.
Sun Ce whose eyesight is better than Sun Jian's not because of age but in terms of martial arts and prowess, Sun Ce is much better than Sun Jian and he can see two children walking in the middle of the group.
He knew who the two children were, it was his brother and sister, Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang were born a year apart Sun Quan was born in 182 AD, and Sun Shangxiang was born in 183 AD. (AT: Sun Shangxiang was born between 182 and 191 AD historically.)
Sun Quan was born to Lady Wu, Sun Jian's main wife who also gave birth to Sun Ce while Sun Shangxiang was born to one of Sun Jian's concubines, it was also a surprise that when Sun Quan was born, the concubine was pregnant with Sun Shangxiang.
Seeing this he informed Sun Jian who brought the Sun Clan guards here, and when Sun Jian heard that it was his second son and his little daughter, Sun Jian could only shake his head as he was 90% sure it was Sun Shangxiang's idea, not Sun Quan who more introvert.
Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu who will board the ships last after the soldiers board the ship, also see the group of Sun Clan Guards that come. Zhou Yu is familiar with both Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang due to him being a frequent guest in Sun Clan's residence.
Zhou Yu turned his head toward Sun Jian and Sun Ce, seeing that they also looked at him and Sun Jian nodded his head to him, indicating that he should bring Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang to him.
Cheng Pu who was beside Zhou Yu was still confused, Zhou Yu nudged the veteran and told him to come alongside him to pick up Sun Quan and Sun Shang Xiang, Cheng Pu was surprised and just followed Zhou Yu picking up Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang who were being picked up by Zhou Yu were surprised, especially Sun Quan since he thought his father sent Zhou Yu to tell them to go back and not to escort them to the ship.
Sun Shangxiang was happy, the little princess of the Sun Clan followed Zhou Yu happily leaving her older brother behind her, Sun Quan seeing this just shook his head because of how naughty his sister was.
Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang boarded the ship escorted by Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, followed by the Sun Clan guard and together they met with Sun Jian who was on the deck alongside Sun Ce.
Sun Jian: "Zhongmou and Shangxiang, what are the two of you doing here? Does your mother know that the two of you were here?"
Sun Quan: "I'm sorry Father, I came here to keep Shangxiang safe as she wanted to sneak out."
Sun Shangxiang: "Second Brother! You promised that you wouldn't tell Father about that!"
Sun Jian: "Shangxiang what did Father say before, you can't do that it's too dangerous and you're a girl you have to act more elegant and stop being mischievous."
Sun Ce: "Shangxiang what Father says is true, what if something happened to you, what would Mother and Father feel if something bad happened to you?"
Sun Shangxiang: "Bad Guys can't do anything to me! I have learned martial arts from my father and big brother, I would like to be Lu Lingqi who duels with Brother Lie Fan in Hulao Pass!"
Sun Jian hearing this shook his head, he regretted that he told this story when he taught Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang some martial arts, for Sun Quan it was a must to learn while Sun Shangxiang for self-defense.
Who would have thought that Sun Shangxiang would show much better talent than Sun Quan and be more diligent than Sun Quan, he tells the story of the duel at Hulao Pass to inspire Sun Quan but it was Sun Shangxiang who was inspired by the story, and not Sun Quan.
The part where Lu Lingqi duels Lie Fan inspires her and even makes Lu Lingqi her role model, Sun Jian can only regret telling the story.
Sun Ce seeing his father shaking his head, thinks that his father is angry at Sun Shangxiang for being so naughty, he tells Sun Quan to take Sun Shangxiang back home and to not let his mother and her mother know that they sneak out.
Before Sun Quan could even acknowledge his brother, Sun Shangxiang protested saying that she wanted to follow him and Sun Jian to Xiapi, she would like to ask Lie Fan himself about Lu Lingqi.
Sun Jian who heard this woke up from his thoughts and denied Sun Shangxiang from following since this was not only a social call but also an official visit to Lie Fan so they could deepen their connection.
Sun Shangxiang who saw this pouted, she was upset and put her head down. Sun Jian and the others who saw this knew that she would throw a tantrum since she always does that.
Sun Ce who saw this knew that when Sun Shangxiang did that, the only one who could calm her down was his mother Lady Wu and if they called her here, she would reprimand all of them because Sun Shangxiang was here.
He turned toward his father and whispered to him, persuading him to allow Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang to come along, he promised that he would keep an eye on Sun Shangxiang with Sun Quan.
The Sun Clan guards that come along here can also follow them, to protect Sun Shangxiang as for Lady Wu and Sun Shangxiang's Mother, they can just inform them and receive their reprimand later after the trip.
Sun Jian was silent for a while and finally agreed, he told Sun Shangxianng and Sun Quan about this, telling them to listen to Sun Ce, especially Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang let out a shout of joy, hugging Sun Jian and promising to listen to Sun Ce well. Sun Jian hugs Sun Shangxiang while smiling, a daughter is really a father's padded jacket.
Sun Jian sent one of the guards to return while bringing a letter to inform Lady Wu and the concubine, after that, he immediately ordered them to set off since they had spent too much time here.
The Ship bringing Sun Jian and his family alongside his retinue finally set sail from Yuzhang Port, if something bad happened to them then the future of the Sun Clan would be bleak since they lose three figureheads who could bring them a better future.
Sun Jian set sail, in Xiapi Lie Fan wasn't informed of this matter yet by the Oriole because of the distance between Yuzhang and Xiapi, where the letters need time to reach Xiapi.
Lie Fan right now is in Xiapi Prison, where he meets with Ji Ling accompanied by Jia Xu and Chen Qun alongside Zhou Chang and Huang Shao his bodyguards, he came here because he was informed that Ji Ling has something that he wants to talk about with Lie Fan.
This was an unexpected invitation from Ji Ling since even though he had shown signs of submitting to him, Jia Xu informed him that it could still be a long way before Ji Ling truly submitted to him.
Lie Fan: "General Ji Ling, I came here as per your request to invite me, may I know the reason why you wanted to see me?"
Ji Ling: "Lord Lie Fan we meet again after so long, the first time I met you was at the Alliance against Dong Zhou, and the second time was before you put me here, this is the third time we met each other."
Lie Fan: "General Ji Ling's words are true, this can be said to be the third time we've seen each other but I think you invited me here to not reminisce about the past."
Ji Ling: "Haha Lord Lie Fan is as perceptive as always, that's true the reason I requested to meet you is because I have a request where if you can fulfill it, I will swear my allegiance to you and serve you for the rest of my life."
Lie Fan: "Oh? Please tell me your request, but remember I can't promise you that I will fulfill your request and will not release you from prison, I better have you here forever rather than have you serve someone else than me."
Ji Ling: "Haha! I never thought that Lord Lie Fan valued me to such a degree, my request is for you to take good care of My Lord's family, well what's left of his family that is."
Jia Xu: "No impossible, it's too risky for My Lord to take care of an usurper family, My Lord I ask for you to think twice about this."
Chen Qun who was beside Jia Xu also asked Lie Fan to think twice, the political backlash was too much especially with Cao Cao now controlling the Emperor, who was more competent than Li Jue and Guo Si.
Lie Fan just looked Ji Ling in the eye, he could see that Ji Ling was determined and would not back down from this request, between Ji Ling and a possible political backlash of course it's more important that a possible political backlash could happen.
Lie Fan understands Jia Xu and Chen Qun telling him to think twice about his decision, but they don't know what he knows that the Emperor and Han Dynasty influences will be gone by the year 200 AD.
It could happen much faster than the original history or much slower, depending on what happens in the landscape, he thinks that protecting the Yuan Shu family could be done by sending them to Taiwan where no one could possibly know they were there.
Of course, the living condition is not that good for now, but They will definitely improve and they could also change their family name from Yuan since the surviving members right now are only women, children, and old people who can pass away at any time, this is the only plan he could think of since having Ji Ling could bolster his power.
